Parenting in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides is complex and, unusually, the sex and
number of parents that can be present is flexible. Such flexibility is expected to involve
specialized behaviour by the two sexes under biparental conditions. Here, we show that
offspring fare equally well regardless of the sex or number of parents present. Comparing
transcriptomes, we find a largely overlapping set of differentially expressed genes in both
uniparental and biparental females and in uniparental males including vitellogenin, associated
with reproduction, and takeout, influencing sex-specific mating and feeding behaviour. Gene
expression in biparental males is similar to that in non-caring states. Thus, being ‘biparental’
in N. vespilloides describes the family social organization rather than the number of directly
parenting individuals. There was no specialization; instead, in biparental families, direct male
parental care appears to be limited with female behaviour unchanged. This should lead to
strong sexual conflict.

Identifying drivers of illegal goose hunting and evaluating the effectiveness of management strategies to avoid conservation conflicts
Jones, Isabel; Whytock, Robin; Duthie, Brad; Bunnefeld, Nils (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Combining social research with modelling tools to simulate decision making, can help identify potential win-win conservation strategies that address the needs of biodiversity conservation and local people, thus avoiding ... -
Genomic conflicts and sexual antagonism in human health: Insights from oxytocin and testosterone
Mökkönen, Mikael; Crespi, Bernard J. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc., 2015)We review the hypothesized and observed effects of two of the major forms of genomic conflicts, genomic imprinting and sexual antagonism, on human health. We focus on phenotypes mediated by peptide and steroid hormones ... -

Socio-Reproductive Conflicts and the Father’s Curse Dilemma
Mökkönen, Mikael; Koskela, Esa; Procyshyn, Tanya; Crespi, Bernard (University of Chicago Press, 2018)Evolutionary conflicts between males and females can manifest over sexually antagonistic interactions at loci or over sexually antagonistic interests within a locus. The latter form of conflict, intralocus sexual conflict, ... -
From surrender stories to persistence stories : young girls’ narratives of agency and power in child–parent conflicts
Lahtinen, Maria; Sevón, Eija; Böök, Marja Leena (School of Child and Youth Care, University of Victoria, 2023)This paper examines the dynamics of agency and power as revealed in young girls’ fictional narratives about child–parent conflicts that are caused by incompatibility between the goals of children and parents in everyday ...
